National Don’t Fry Day
With Memorial Day a few days away, it is important to get into the habit of practicing safe sun habits. For many people, the Memorial Holiday Weekend begins the Summer season. With this in mind, the National Council on Skin Prevention declare the Friday before Memorial Day as “Don’t Fry Day”.
As you know, melanoma is usually from UVA and UVB rays. For more on melanoma, visit my National Melanoma Monday post. Not only does skin cancer develop from exposure to the sun, but also from other resources, such as tanning beds. In essence, there are certain things you can do to protect your skin such as:
- In the first place, apply an SPF 30+ and reapply every two hours when you’re in the sun or swimming.
- If you have the type of skin that burns easily and are going to be outside, it is essential to find a shady area.
- Wear sun protective accessories and clothing such as sunglasses, a hat and sun protective clothing.
Sun Protection
In fact, melanoma is increasing worldwide. How many times do you go out of your home and forget to apply sun tan protection lotion? Meanwhile, protecting your skin is essential to your health. Whenever you purchase any type of sun protection product, make sure you check the expiration date. Typically, most SPF products are good for approximately 3 years.
